SEARCH AND RESCUE or Emergency Management VOLUNTEER?

An operational SAR or EM volunteer is a person who, of their own free will, and without expectation of profit, gives their time, effort and skill in responding to emergencies by carrying out lifesaving SAR or EM operations, as required 24/7, as part of an organisation recognised by the statutory authorities.

SUPPORT US

Every member of YSAR is a volunteer, and the only way we can continue to operate is with your help and support.  No matter how small, personal donations help to keep the team running. Whether a small contribution to training costs, or as a corporate sponsor, we welcome your help to enable us to train the next generation of SAR and EM volunteers.
